“Loved Sofra! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. We started with the baba ganoush and that huge warm bread, which was so good. For our mains, we tried a few different kebabs and grilled meats with rice, salad and pickled cabbage. Everything was cooked perfectly and the portions were generous.
The restaurant is cute and colorful inside, the service was great, and we left completely stuffed. Definitely one of those places I’d happily come back to”
“Great place to have delicious food at good prices . The waitstaff was sooo friendly”
“Private party in traditional presentation of a Kamayan feast (max 35 persons) for my milestone birthday. You meet with Chef Maricel herself to plan the menu and set-up (seating, music, and service). She was very accommodating for one guest who is allergic to soy sauce — a staple ingredient in Asian cooking. She prepared a separate meal for him. She made all my favorite Filipino dishes including Lechon (the best I’ve eaten!), grilled chicken inasal, fried tilapia, chicken adobo, and beef Caldereta (my husband’s favorite). I also recommend her crispy shrimp balls as an appetizer and pancit molo soup. Chef Maricel came out to present the Lechon and explained its significance in Filipino celebrations. The succulent pork and crackling were then added to the other dishes laid out on banana leaves. Dessert included turon and leche flan. The mango birthday cake was beautiful and delicious. We chose their beverage package that included non-alcoholic sangria, soda, coffee and hot tea. BYOB: Guests added pinot Grigio or prosecco to their glasses of sangria. Maricel’s Kitchen is a restaurant on the weekends and a cooking studio during the week where she teaches classes live on YouTube. The studio’s computer equipment set-up provided an opp for my family to project a slide show of photos from my life that guests watched during dinner. Our daughter led 3 birthday games between dinner and dessert where Chef Maricel’s cookbook and gift cards were the prizes. She signed each cookbook. Such a memorable evening!”
“My 1st time visiting tulsi. A new gem in east brunswick. The atmosphere is terrific inside the restaurant. Warm, inviting and authentic to the Indian culture. The food choices are awesome. Great portions and very flavorful. Only negative was with amount of rice offered. Two small containers. I had inquired if basmati rice was included. If had had known the portion was going to be that small I was going to order more rice. Other indian restaurants Ive gone too weren't stingy. Overall, fantastic place. Great flavors. This will be my new destination to enjoy Great Indian food”

“CAVA!! You have NO right to be so DELICIOUS and be 30 minutes from my house 🤣 but really please bring one down to Carolina forest SC! I had the salmon strawberry bowl how it comes but pickles onions instead of the tomatoes & it was out of this world .. I will be back!!!”
“I went here tonight for my father’s birthday and the experience overall was wonderful. The staff were so kind and welcoming, our waitress was friendly and engaging, and the food was absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to go back and try more stuff off the menu. Also the tres leches was some of the best I’ve ever had 🤤”
“1st and last time coming here. With the price of the buffet you would think they will have more food selections. The food was nasty, cold and dry. The hibachi was closed and the steak they did make and put out was cold, tough and been sitting out for a while. Crabs were cold and small they were stingy with putting everything out in small portions. Didn't have any snow crabs like they advertise. The bubble tea was free so my children didn't know upon leaving we had to pay for it. The rude receptionist ran and chased us down out the door and snatched them out my kids hands. If she wasn't so rude i would of went back to pay for them. I spent a total of $267 including $40 tip for nasty buffet and service. False advertising on social media made me come here. Never again”

“I ordered the Chicken Chettinadu, veg momo, and veg lunch combo — all were absolutely delicious! The Chicken Chettinadu had the perfect balance of spice and savory, and the veg momo were fresh, flavorful, and filled with a nice variety of vegetables. The veg lunch combo was satisfying and well-portioned, and the kheer dessert was fresh and mildly sweet — a perfect way to end the meal. Everything was packaged neatly and arrived warm. Highly recommend for anyone looking for flavorful, well-prepared Indian cuisine. I’ll definitely be ordering again!”
“On a Tuesday evening, it was quiet--giving us time and space to talk with our friends, which was our goal. On Tuesday, there is also a special deal on appetizers: buy one, get one. We enjoyed our food. We looked over the check, which was just fine, as expected, but when we handed over our credit card, whoever ran the card put a different total on the charge, which we noticed as soon as the card was returned. They fixed it, but it should not have happened. Basically, a good place for appetizers, burgers, pizzas, and simple entrees. We will go back.”
“9/14/25 - NFL Sundays are made for pizza. So we did take out from Mancini's Pizza in East Brunswick, NJ. \n\nWe sat outside while they prepared our order --- one large Sicilian and one large pepperoni. The friendly and helpful staff even tapped on the window to let us know our order was ready. Yes, the restaurant is crowded and does a brisk business which is another good sign.\n\nThe pepperoni is a neopolitan style and a bit on the thinner side. The sauce is absolutely incredible. The cheese is clearly premium. The pie is perfectly prepared and the Italian spices are noticeable with each bite. They use thicker pepperoni slices which I really enjoyed. The big disappointment here is the slices are not very crispy and are very limp. When you pick one up, unfortunately, everything slides right off. It doesn't make it taste bad but its annoying nonetheless. \n\nThe Sicilian slice was by far my favorite. It has that fermented Sicilian crust flavor and when you add their spectacular sauce and premium cheese, it is Sicilian pizza nirvana. The crust is crispy and not dry at all. Great care is taken here paying attention to every detail of this masterpiece. \n\nThe prices here are not friendly for the budget conscious diners. But if you want quality, you have to pay for it.\n\nOverall Rating: A-”
“Went there for dinner today. I had the Eggplant Parm, omg that sauce was amazing that meal was huge and so delicious. My girlfriend had the Shrimp Scampi and she said it was the best she ever had. 5 stars for this diner. Very nice, friendly, owner who is also the chef. We will definitely be back!!!”
“Long time patrons but Blue Water has gone downhill over the last several years as far as seafood choices and food taste. Seafood Fra Diavolo ordered medium was tasteless and calamari were the Shop n Stop frozen rings. Key Lime pie slice the size for a mouse maybe and tasteless, no presentation like back in the day. Another “ former “ old time patron sitting next to us was furious as his swordfish was maybe 1/4” thick. We both agreed never to visit Blue Water again. We both remembered when it was the best ! My spouse and I were customers when the place would be packed now 4 tables only at 6:30pm ( guessing others feel the same) and long gone is the special menu had lobster cakes, halibut, monk fish , red snapper etc. Sadly and honestly not even better than a pizza restaurant but 3x the price. Bye Blue Water Seafood .”
“9/5/25 - It's about time that I did a review on my go to pizza place in East Brunswick, NJ. It's called Michelangelo's Pizza. Through the years, if anyone asked me for a recommendation for pizza, I would ask you what style you preferred. And if your answer was thick neopolitan, I sent you here.\n\nI grew up on Staten Island and my favorite pizza shop was Al's Pizza (RIP) on the corner of Jewett Ave and Victory Blvd. That's the same style I grew up eating. That's what I prefer. But I do enjoy other types as well. Michelangelo's reminds me of Al's very much.\n\nThe pizza at Michelangelo's is thick, hearty and heavy. Tonight, we ordered one plain and one pepperoni. \n\nThe plain is thick and chewy. It has a small crunch to it. The outer crust is thick and chewy with a light crunch as well. It is not dry at all. The cheese tastes premium and there is plenty of it for you cheese lovers. For me, the star here is the sauce. The pie is generously sauced which I absolutely love. You would think a pie this thick would be droopy, but it surprisingly stands up pretty well. And if it does droop a little, the cheese is so abundant that it holds it together and nothing slides off. \n\nThe pepperoni has all the same traits. The difference here is the pepperoni adds a lot of grease which I'm not crazy about. I dont believe it's the pie makers fault as pepperoni gives off a lot of grease when cooked.\n\nI love the staff here. Friendly and competent. I am always greeted by my first name which is appreciated. \n\nThere's been some happenings here recently which led me to believe there were issues with the business. It was closed for 8 days without any indication as to why. The phone was also disconnected. Finally on day 4, I saw a sign on the door in the distance but I was late for a ballgame and didn't have time to stop and read it. \n\nIt's such a good pie that I hope they have resolved the issues permanently whatever they may have been.\n\nOverall Rating: A-”
“I always appreciate Jax the Bartender at Hooters Of Brunswick NJ! Jax takes Great Care of her Customers, and has a Fun Personality! Jax is also a great Supporter of her fellow Hooters Ladies, as well as the Management . I became a Regular at Hooters Of Brunswick NJ because of Jax! -Fred B”
“Had an amazing dining experience at N Thai Palace, a family-owned restaurant serving authentic Thai cuisine since 2012! From the comforting Tom Yum Soup and crispy vegetable spring rolls to the flavorful basil fried rice and shrimp pad Thai, every bite was incredible. The highlight? Their coconut fried ice cream! Trust me, it’s worth a trip just for dessert. It was great meeting Syed, the owner, who shared how they can customize dishes without onions and garlic—a perfect option for those who are Jain or Swaminarayan. The restaurant was buzzing with happy diners, and now I see why. Highly recommend checking them out!”

“This place gets a five star just because I placed a mobile order when I was five minutes away completely forgot about it took me seven minutes to get back there and when I got there, I had a hot coffee, a hot sandwich and hot hashbrowns as they were waiting for me to get there most people would be mad because they had to wait a moment, but I’m happy as hell because who doesn’t want hot food”
“Ordered iced caramel macchiato and iced caramel latter. Both came without caramel and tasted exactly the same. When I first called to make it right, they picked up and said told me to resolve it through the app. Ever since, they are ignored my calls by either not answering or having up right after hearing hello.
**the manager in charge at the time left and a different worker picked up the phone and resolved the issue by remaking the order for later pick up.** thank you, Mary!
And went I went back for the remake, they were smooth and polite about it! Mistakes happen, but they were professional when it came to fixing it :)”
“Top sushi restaurant in East Brunz; service and quality of dishes are top shelf. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Food was not up to par and caused a stomach reaction. Not as good as Woodbridge for sure. I'd like to think this experience was a one time fluke and hopefully things improve”
“We had lunch on Saturday afternoon. I would rate the food as pretty good, and better than Red Lobster which is right across Rt. 18. However the presentation of the food leaves a good deal to be desired. They serve on paper strays with plastic spoons. Paper would be fine if it was of a higher / thicker quality. The plastic utensils would also be fine if they weren’t of the kiddie party variety. The We had soft shelled crab, fried shrimp and catfish with boiled Cajun pototes and French fries. All of the food was good, neither over cooked not undercooked. The soft shell carb was pretty good. What was annoying was that the (soupy) boiled potato(s) side dish was served in a Saran Wrap baggie tied in a knot and put in the same paper tray with the fried soft shell crab. It was hard to tear it open without spilling the contents all over the table. However the side dish potatoes were good. The problem was the plating. The French fries were also good, neither overcooked nor undercooked and tender. While the food is good you and the restaurant is decently decorated, you get the impression that they have a very very tight budget for necessities as in utensils, plates and trays. Nevertheless we will eat there again or have their food delivered. They do not have a delivery service so you must use Uber or Doordash.”

“If you’re looking for an amazing pre- or post-workout treat — or just something delicious to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling guilty — this place is it. The service is always wonderful, and the Cowabunga Smoothie is one of my personal favorites. Everything they serve is made with natural, organic ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about a bunch of ultra-processed stuff going into your body. It’s refreshing to find a spot that focuses on quality while still making drinks that taste this good. It’s always a great choice when you need a quick energy boost to keep your day going. Highly recommended.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Frank’s Pizza has a great environment with amazing pizza and food — top quality, super tasty, and always fresh. The place is very kid-friendly, with plenty of room, and it’s perfect for families or groups. There’s easy parking, great handicap accessibility, and even a private room, which is a huge plus. BYOB makes it even better. Overall, awesome food, welcoming vibe, and super convenient. Highly recommend! 🍕👏”
“The most amazing pizza and Italian dishes you will ever eat! Super fresh and always delicious! The owners are the sweetest and truly make you feel special every time you visit. We’ve been customers since they were located in the Meyers parking lot, however, we’ve moved in the last few years and are unable to get our fix of Bella La Pizzeria greatness since. We travel over 3 hours for the best pizza and meals because the food is that delicious! I’m sitting here in heaven this evening enjoying a slice of their perfect pizza. Yummmm!!!…….”
“New menu fantastic. Don't drive by this diner, stop! Food excellent, service on spot, owner does everything, fantastic cook, friendly, made to order. Best kept secret in the area. Try it, you will like it. My husband and I have been customers for years. Just keeps getting better.”
“Great staff, meal options, and service! We order often and always enjoy the food and generous portions. Everyone is nice and friendly. It’s also located in a convenient area - easy to go in, order and get exactly what you want! It’s halal and has vegetarian options also so it appeals to all customers. Highly recommend 👍”

“This is a convenient little coffee bar in the hotel. There aren't any coffee makers in rooms and the restaurant's kitchen is not open until noon so it is the only option for coffee and breakfast. The coffee was good and the service was great, though not staffed for large orders or a line. Food options are limited.
There is only the lobby seating as this shares the same counter as the check in desk, so need to take it to your room or find a table in another part of the lobby to sit, or near the bar if that's allowed. The lobby is quite lovely.
Dietary restrictions: Minimal information available about prepared foods (muffins, Danish), no labels for GF, etc”
“Yes, it was to meet my friends and have brunch. Everything was great but they do need to tell you that they need to mention any fruits that goes on your pancakes or the side that they come cold that is my only complaint you have to let them know that you would like your fruits warmed up”
“While not exclusively vegan I'm still going to give them 5 stars because their vegan menu alone is larger than many vegan only establishments. It's not fine dining, you're not going to find tons of fresh veggies or smoothies or raw vegan dishes BUT for vegan fast food it's our local go-to place.”
“This is my go-to place anytime I need to pick up a dozen bagels for groups. They always have the perfect texture and taste. You can also never go wrong with a bacon, egg, and cheese on a(n everything) bagel. There's always a lot of foot traffic, but they know how to keep things moving!”
“I read some of these reviews and the first thing that came to mind was, "first world problems." Perhaps it is because I used to be homeless, I cannot understand the mentality of criticizing food that is so easy to obtain and so quickly prepared by people who work very hard and very long for so little pay.
The employees did their job here. They promptly prepared the order, didn't mess a single thing up and neatly packed it into plastic containers for my door dasher to pick up. They put in my extra sauce too. I see no reason to complain. Are there better wings at different restaurants? Of course. Is that a reason to be ungrateful? No! Not every restaurant is going to have the "best" anything. Someone will like it regardless, and I do! I ordered 22 boneless wings with the flavors of Buffalo and spicy pineapple teriyaki (I believe that's the name). Clearly I finished my meal before I could take a photo of it.
This is value for money, and that's what it's about. Each wing is priced at $1/piece and there's nothing wrong with the flavor or the consistency. The fries were on point too and well seasoned. I don't need them to be crispy like Ritz crackers, I'm just happy I don't feel hungry anymore.
And even if the adults are too picky, the kids will love these wings and fries.”
“Undeniably the finest ice cream in the entire state. Their vanilla soft serve is on another level, richer, smoother, and more flavorful than anything I’ve ever had. It’s clear why this place has been a beloved landmark since 1981. The secret? A product that speaks for itself, simply unmatched in quality.”

“We needed a place to get together after a game with a lot of people. The Colonial didn’t hesitate when I said 20 people. We came and they sat us in the back so we could all be together. Phil and Pedro were an amazing team. They organized our checks by family and all of our food came out hot, fast and delicious. So very thankful for this option in the area!”
“I ate here a few years ago - don't recall my whole meal but i remember it was good - love mint chuntey. The manager / staff was friendly. The space is small but organized and clean. Recently i ordered through uber eats - they had a buy one get one free promo on the chicken tikka. I also got a few orders of garlic naan. The chicken tikka with rice was good - moist chicken, good flavor and not too spicy. However the garlic naan was disappointing - it was a tad bit salty but mostly the bread was flat and dense - it should be a little more fluffy with a nice chew. Hope they read this and improve it - would give it another try.”
“I have ordered the chicken tikka empanadas and other types of empanadas from the Bites and Bowls food truck at least twenty times over the past years, and I can genuinely say they are top quality every time. Other empanadas from food trucks in the area are cold in the middle or lack filling. Bites and Bowls is fairly priced, their empanadas are fresh and hot all the way through, and they are generously sized and filled. The gentleman running the truck is always courteous and serves orders with a smile.
I wish the food truck went to more locations. It is worth standing in line for these empanadas. Simply superb, 10/10.”
“12/3/25 - It's been a few since I had a chance to get out and grab some pies but the troops were hungry today so....\n\nI decided to stay somewhat local and headed over to Vinnie's Pizza in East Brunswick, NJ. \n\nI've been to Vinnie's a few times since moving here with mixed results but i understand it's under new ownership. \nI ordered two large pies (I told ya the crew was hungry so don't judge 😋)--- one plain and one pepperoni. \n\nThe good: The sauce is plentiful. It's more of a sweet sauce than my preferred tangy style but it's seasoned perfectly. You taste the oregano and basil in each bite. The cheese is also plentiful and it is premium. The outer crust is a bit short on flavor but not bad enough to call it a deal breaker. It's only a little crispy and very moist on the inside. If you're thinking the lack of crispiness would cause the the slices to wilt, surprisingly you'd be incorrect. The slices stand up nicely! I folded the outer crust and there was no toppings sliding off and no oil drip.\n\nThe bad: The policy they have here requires a 4% surcharge on all cards--- debit or credit. I've seen other places do this and it annoys me every time. Just build the 4% into the menu price and stop making me feel like you're nickel and diming me. \nAlso, the pies could be cooked a few minutes longer to give the crust a crunchier texture.\n\nIf you're local to East Brunswick, this place is worth a trip for a taste test. But I'm not sure this is what I'd call a destination pizzeria. Give it a shot--- you wont be disappointed. \n\nOverall Rating: B+”

“Papa John’s is a solid choice for pizza. The food is usually fresh and tasty, and the delivery is pretty quick. The staff are polite and orders come out right most of the time. Overall a good spot when you’re in the mood for pizza.”
“The food is 4 stars as a hotel restaurant. Food was just ok ... some good, some mediocre. I was staying next door at the Residence Inn so this was really the only place that was within a short/medium walk. I went a second time without hesitation. The third night i didnt really want to, but wanted to drive even less. App portions were huge. Calamari was ok. Bbq chicken wings were great, sweet chili wings were not good. Quesadilla was really good (super greasy from all the cheese) Chicken sandwich was really good. Chicken Caesar was good but a bit too much dressing. Creme brule was very disappointing. Had low expectations for a hotel resto ... it beat them, but only by a little.”

“Establishment is clean, with excellent customer service. Guillermo was a God send. He had my three dz Blue Claw Crabs fresh/cleaned and when he realized I had car troubles and was going to walk-he gave me a ride home safely. Pristine local fishermen and family business worth supporting compared to more well known larger venues.”

What was annoying was that the (soupy) boiled potato(s) side dish was served in a Saran Wrap baggie tied in a knot and put in the same paper tray with the fried soft shell crab. It was hard to tear it open without spilling the contents all over the table. However the side dish potatoes were good. The problem was the plating. The French fries were also good, neither overcooked nor undercooked and tender. While the food is good you and the restaurant is decently decorated, you get the impression that they have a very very tight budget for necessities as in utensils, plates and trays. Nevertheless we will eat there again or have their food delivered. They do not have a delivery service so you must use Uber or Doordash.”

“Yes, it was to meet my friends and have brunch. Everything was great but they do need to tell you that they need to mention any fruits that goes on your pancakes or the side that they come cold that is my only complaint you have to let them know that you would like your fruits warmed up”
“If you’re looking for an amazing pre- or post-workout treat — or just something delicious to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling guilty — this place is it. The service is always wonderful, and the Cowabunga Smoothie is one of my personal favorites. Everything they serve is made with natural, organic ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about a bunch of ultra-processed stuff going into your body. It’s refreshing to find a spot that focuses on quality while still making drinks that taste this good. It’s always a great choice when you need a quick energy boost to keep your day going. Highly recommended.”
“Ordered iced caramel macchiato and iced caramel latter. Both came without caramel and tasted exactly the same. When I first called to make it right, they picked up and said told me to resolve it through the app. Ever since, they are ignored my calls by either not answering or having up right after hearing hello.
**the manager in charge at the time left and a different worker picked up the phone and resolved the issue by remaking the order for later pick up.** thank you, Mary!
And went I went back for the remake, they were smooth and polite about it! Mistakes happen, but they were professional when it came to fixing it :)”
